Iron Man – the movie

Iron Man
So far so good, it looks absolutely awesome. I LOVE the suit, but Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.) comes across as a bit too cocky compared to the Tony of later years, so it’ll be interesting to see how they ‘adapted’ the comic book story line.
Even cooler, I started singing Black Sabbath’s Iron Man and ten seconds later Sabbath kicks in in the actual trailer. Bonus points for using that track.

  1. [...] first thing I noticed when I brought up the blog was the latest article on the Iron Man movie. Of course, I then had to take time out and watch the trailer at the Apple trailer site, [...]

    haha, that movie looks very sexy so far
    cockiness, yeah, the whole “I have a purpose now”, very corny and contrived ugh
    the whole terrorist premise thing as well is a little heavy handed

    but watching that bigass hulking iron suit destroy …oh so sweet. i can’t wait for some action shots of the proper Iron Man suit…and is that a War Machine suit he’s fighting against?

    Will they add moments of the energy problems the suit has like in the cartoons? D=

    Wow, “some” loud sound is enough to power the suit D= Amazing (>o_o)

    Well…the later Tony, like in recent events (Civil War and stuff) is pretty cocky…he made sure every super hero who didnt follow him in his quest for super hero registration was send to a camp, and used those super heroes as his own army and even used villains for his cause..so yeah, i would call that cocky.

    I feel bad that the orinal story (the one where he was caught by asian fellers) is a little outdated…cause the hole Iraq/war on terrorism thing is a little blah too me, but then again maybe it will work.

    Being a big marvel fan i do like the scene where he shows off his flying moves and the scene where he just finished his suit (love the big ol’skool robot suit =D)

    power…i’m guessing it has something to do with his magic glowing chest? a fusion power plant instead of a heart?

    Sweet, I can hardly wait. Hope it is better than the most recent comic book movies that have been out.
